How to play it
✓
Deny his E
Stand in the middle of the wave so he can't E you: his E is the engage that opens every trade.
✓
All-in from fog
Wait for him to waste his E on minions, then R, full combo and Ignite from fog: that's usually the kill.
✓
Level 1 read
Hold your abilities lvl 1: if he starts E on you, W for a full drain; if he starts Q, E to poke and farm.
✕
When Sylas hijacks your ult, never let him free-cast it: hold E or Q to interrupt the cast or you're doomed.

Core
Standard AP drain core: Liandry's Torment + Rylai's Crystal Scepter milk his channeled W for max damage while the slow keeps targets in range, and Zhonya's lets him ult from fog and stasis mid-channel. Flex the third slot to Banshee's Veil, Mercury's Treads, or a Null-Magic Mantle rush into heavy burst.
